Renewed plea for tips in unsolved 2020 murder
Ontario Provincial Police are hoping someone can help them solve a four-year-old murder.
On Aug. 4, 2020, Mohamed Amin Ismail was found dead near Guelph.
The 25-year-old was from Ottawa but, at the time of his death, was living in Waterloo Region.
Police said Ismail’s body was discovered on Watson Road North, south of Wellington Road 124.
Investigators ruled it a homicide but haven’t shared any details about how he died.
“The Ismail family… they’re grieving still,” said OPP Insp. Michael Moore. “It’s been four years since they lost their son.”
